Washington, Sept. 5: Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin almost managed to overhaul Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama in terms of attracting the number of television viewers to hear her acceptance speech on Wednesday night at the party’s convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Palin drew 37 million viewers, just 1.1 million viewers shy of Obama’s record-breaking speech in Denver on August 28, according to recent Nielsen Media Research ratings.
